GOGGLES. l

Application led September 30, 1922. Serial No. 591,530.

To all whom 'it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HARRY K.' FAIRALL,

a citizen of the United States, residing at` Los Angeles, inthe county of Los Angeles, State of California, have invented new and useful Goggles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to viewing devices and relates articularly to an lmproved and simplifiedv orm of goggles which have a wide variety of uses. but which are of particular utility in the viewing of stereoscopic motion pictures. s

It is an object of the invention to provide goggles which may be manufactured from.

transparent resilient material, such as celluloid, and which have retaining means integrally formed therewith forgripping the temples of a person wearing same,.in such a manner as to be held securely in place. It is a further object of the invention to rovide goggles of this character which may e easily equipped with dierent colored lenses.

The es ecial advantages of the invention and further objects thereof will be made 5 evident hereinafter.

t Referring to the drawing which is for illustrative purposes only:

Fi 1 is a erspective view of a pair of g gg es embo ying/the features of my in-I vention. l

Fi 2 is la view illustratingV themanner in w ich the goggles are worn. l

Fig. 3 is a view of a stamping which is employed in forming the goggles shown in Fig. 1. f

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of this stamping after having been bent preparatory to combination with -a correspondingly stam ed member to form the completed go g es shown in Fig. 1. V

ig. 5 shows the manner in which a pair ofA such stampings are placed together with the bowA reinforcilg'channel of one stamping placed within t e bow reinforcing channelof the other stampin The goggles shown in lig. 1 provide lens portions or screens 11 and 12 having temple members 14 extending therefrom, these'temple members being rovided with inwardly-bent ends 16 whlch are provided for a purpose which will hereinafter be made evident.

For the purpose of viewing stereoscopic motion pictures it is desirable 'that thel Atop of the goggles.

'35 as on the bridge of t e nose. The overlapping l screens 112 and 12 be of different colors/in' order to serve as color screens. In order t'- that these lenses may be provided in diil'erent colors I construct the goggles from two sepa-rate stampings such as areshown at 18 *in Fig. 3. The stampings 18' shown in Fitg. s

3 provides an area- 20 from which exten a portion forming a temple member 14 having the corners beveled as shown at 21, and along the upper edge of the area 20 a strip 22 extends. The stamping 18 is bent in the following manner:- A

The portion 14 is vbent rearwardly upon the line 25 so that it assumesl the angular re- 70 lationship to the screen 12, as shown in Fig. 4. The' end ofthe member 14 is then bent inwardly upon the line 26, and the strip 22 bent downwardly upon the line 27, as shown at 28 in Fig. 4. By bending down the strip 75 22 a reinforcement of the member18 .is accomplished, which in combination with the vertical bend at 25 has a tendency'to maintain the screen portion 12 sufciently rigidfor ractical use. A similar stamping 18 80 has t e temple portion 14 thereof bent rearl wardly as shown in Fig. 1 and the edge strip 22 thereof bent downwardly vas indicated at .30, thus providing a pair of cooperating members which are attached together as' 85" shown in-Fig. 5 by placing the downwardly turned edge 22 of one of the formed up stampings 18 within the downwardly turned edge of the other stamping, and with the' suitable Iapplication of cement, securing these two members together in the form shown in Fig. 1. When the two stampings are cemented together, the downwardly turned ed'ges 22 form a rigid bow across the It' will be perceived from Fig. 1 that in forming'the members from which the goggles are made', the temple members 14 are i'nclined inwardly. In lputting on the goggles, as'shown in Flg. 2, t e temple mem ers are 100 flexed outward y A temples and the inward y bent ends 16 are allowed to come to rest against the temples of the. wearer, thus holding the goggles inA place. The stampings are so formed that 105 when laced to et er they provide a bridge shown in i 1 and 5 which rests updownwardly bent strips'22 of each of the lstampings constitute a reinforcing bar 36 110,

whic extends entirelyacross th front of the goggles andprevents the ends 37 thereand sli pe'd back ,over the.- AY

of being flexed backwardly inputting `on the goggles. Being constructed of celluloid or some other similar transparent material,

goggles formed in this manner are of extremely light weight and therefore require but little pressure of the temple members 14,' upon the temples of the wearer, to hold them in place.`

l claim as my invention:A 1. Goggles of the class described, comprising; a pair of lenses formed of transparent material; means joining said lenses together; and temple members formed integrally with said lenses extending rearwardly from said lenses, said temple members being resiliently maintained against the temples of the wearer for the purpose of 1 providing a grip for holding said goggles in place. 1- v 2. Goggles, as in claim 1, in which said temple members have inwardly turned ends for engaging the temples.

3. Goggles, as in claim 1, in which said means joining said lenses together is integrally formed with said lenses of the same material.

4.' Goggles, as in claim 3, having a Ireinforcing membery extending across the upper edgesof said lenses, said reinforcing `member-being integrally formed with said 7. Goggles, as in claim 6, having the upper edge of each of said lens and bridge portions bent at an angle to said portions, for providing ay reinforcement.

8. Goggles of the class described, comprising: lens portions adjacently arranged; and temple port-ions formed integrally lwith said lens portions, extending rearwardly therefrom and adapted to resiliently engage thev head of the wearer to hold the goggles in place. f

9. Goggles ofthe class described comprising: lens portions adj acently arranged; temple poi-tions formed integrally with said lens portions and 'extending rearwardly therefrom; and inwardly bent portions formed at -the rearward ends of said temple portions.`

J 10. Goggles oflthe class described formed of alpair of Vsimilar shaped members i11- terloked together, each of said Jmembers .comprising a lens'portion and` a temple portioin formed integral with said lens portion, extending rearwardly therefromand adapted to resiliently engage thehead of the wearer.

11.- Goggles Iof the class described formed of' a pair of similar shaped members each comprising a lens portion and a temple engaging portion extending rearwardly therefrom, each lof said lens portions provided with a channel shaped edge for interlocking said members. I

12. Goggles of the class-described formed of a pair of similar shaped members each lcomprising a lens portion and a temple engagingportion extending rearwardly thercfrom adapted to resiliently engage the head of the wearer, and each of said lens portions provided with a channel shaped edge wherebyl said members may be adjustably locked together.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Los Angeles, California, this 20th vday of September, 1922.
